• Installation must be carried out by a certified electrician and must
comply with national and local electrical codes.
• To prevent severe shock or electrocution, always cut the power at
the service panel before working with wiring.
• This thermostat should be connected on a circuit equipped with a
fuse or a circuit breaker. It must be installed on a certified electrical
box.
• Do NOT install the thermostat in an area where it can be exposed
to water or rain.
• Install the thermostat on an inside wall facing the heating system.
• Avoid locations where there are air drafts (top of staircase, air
outlet), dead air spots (behind a door), direct sunlight or concealed
chimneys or stove pipes.
• For a new installation, choose a location about 1.5 m (5 ft) above
the floor.
• Keep the thermostat's top and bottom air vents (openings) clean
and unobstructed at all times.

Power Terminals 1 & 5
Load Terminals 2 & 4 (see note 1)
Pilot Wire Terminal 3 (see note 2)
Floor sensor Terminals 6 & 7; no polarity (see note 3)
NOTE 1 If a contactor is used between the thermostat and the load, install a
snubber at the contactor’s coil terminal to ensure the proper operation
of the thermostat.
NOTE 2 Optional (see page 10).
NOTE 3 For the proper operation of the thermostat, the floor sensor must be
centered between two heater wires having a maximum temperature
of 80°C (176°F). The floor sensor wire must not cross any heater wire
or be placed close to it.
NOTE 4 Ensure that the wires are tightly secured to the terminals. Apply a
minimum torque of 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb/in) when tightening the screws.
NOTE 5 The terminals are designed to handle a cross-section of wire
measuring 0.33 to 3.1 mm2.
